The Tibetan army was 200,000, and the total number of the three Tang armies was only 50,000.

What Songtsen Gampo wants is not the princess of the Tang Dynasty, or rather, not only the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but he also wants to call the Tang Dynasty two catties and use war to determine the status of the monarch and the minister.

The military strength has an absolute advantage, and the combat power is not inferior to the children of Guanzhong, how can it not be weighed?

An army of 200,000 defended the city, and only 50,000 besieged the city, and the hope of recovering Songzhou was very slim. Hou Junji, the general manager of the Midao march, immediately sent a horse into Chang'an, stated the battle situation to Li Shimin, and asked Li Shimin to pour all the troops of the country into Songzhou and swear the shame of Cedar State.

It was not only the siege of the city that was difficult, but also the issue of sheltering refugees who had fled from Songju.

The refugees are all ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who escaped from the swords of the Tubo people.

However, on the night of the reception of refugees, the newly built camp tent suddenly caught fire, and then a group of Tubo people mixed in the refugee group coerced the people to launch a surprise attack on the Chinese army under Liu Lan of the Tang Army.

Internal and external troubles cast a shadow on the officers and men of the Tang Army in this war.

The next day, Hou Junji invited Liu Lan, Niu Jinda and the second general to discuss the war, Niu Jinda led his personal guards to Hou Jun's centralized army commander's tent, and his face was gloomy when he came back, obviously the Tang army's shape this time was very severe, and 50,000 people faced the city held by the 200,000 Tubo army, and the strength was too different.

Soon after Niu Jinda came back, he ordered the drums to gather the generals, including Li Su, the generals stood respectfully in the tent, Niu Jinda's expression was cold, and the red arrows were thrown out, and the military orders were taken away by the generals.

At a quarter of noon, the whole army attacked the city!

**********************************************************

Stone-throwing trucks, ladders were quickly assembled by the rear army, the people in the camp roared and neighed, the generals scolded and scolded, the soldiers were in a hurry, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came and went in the camp, raising the dust in the sky, and the figures of the swords and swords were shuttling in the dust.

Li Su stood outside the tent, quietly looking at this qiē, beside him, Niu Jinda's expression was condensed, gloomy as a cloud.

"Little baby, you once said that it is easy to fight in Songzhou and difficult to enter Tibet, how do you say it today?" Niu Jinda looked ahead, his tone indifferent.

Li Su smiled bitterly: "If it is to relieve the siege of Songzhou, it will naturally be easy, but it is ......"

Niu Jinda sneered: "But no one expected Han Wei to lose so quickly, abandon the city so decisively, if you fight with Tubo in the plain outside Songzhou City, my 50,000 Tang army defeats 200,000 Tubo has a good chance of winning, but if 50,000 people attack the city of 200,000 defenders, I am afraid it will not end well." ”

Li Su nodded, the two are not a concept at all, the Tang army is brave and good at fighting, at least in this era, the decisive battle on the plain can be said to be invincible in the world, but relying on these 50,000 people to attack a city with 200,000 defenders, the difficulty is different, the art of war is "ten to encircle, five to attack, and twice to fight", this is what it means, if you want to attack the city, you have to have five times the strength of the enemy, and now the comparison of forces is completely reversed.

Hou Junji, Liu Lanniu, and Jinda are the three of them, and Rao is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he is at a loss for how to conquer Songzhou City.

Li Su looked worried, he thought of the brothers of the Wang family, the siege battle has been the most difficult since ancient times, and the casualties are also the largest......

"Chief, since there is a huge disparity in troops, why don't you besiege the city and wait for reinforcements? Our little force attacked, and the casualties were ......."

Niu Jinda sighed: "Waiting for help? How to wait for help? Even if His Majesty can free up his hands and transfer the army in Guanzhong, from Chang'an to Songzhou, it will take 20 days, the battlefield battle situation is unpredictable, and after 20 days, will the enemy and me still be in the same situation as they are now? Let's try it first, and see how the Tibetan barbarians defend the city. ”

Li Su's lips twitched a few times, and he stopped talking.

Niu Jinda looked at him and said, "You have to try, do you think that ancient and modern generals are born to fight?" It is only by taking human lives to fill in, and thousands of lives have been lost, that we can see the details of the enemy, find out the enemy's flaws, kill the enemy with one blow, and achieve the reputation of the generals who always win. ”

Li Su's mood became more and more depressed, and he lowered his head and said slowly: "Relying on the king's words to seal the marquis, you will succeed and your bones will wither......"

Niu Jinda glanced at him strangely, and said: "Good poetry, but there is a bit of talent, you are right, once you will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither, that's the case, but there should be no resentment in your poem, who doesn't care for his soldiers?" Who would be willing to die for a general who doesn't care for his soldiers? It's just that he was forced to be helpless by the war, and if he didn't sacrifice a group of people, maybe the whole army would be wiped out......"

Looking up at the gray sky, Niu Jinda's expression flashed with a hint of complex and indescribable meaning, and muttered: "Battlefield conquest is a matter of fighting for life." ”

…………

The city of Songzhou is full of dense Tubo soldiers, they have no uniform clothing, all of them are strange short shirts of various colors, bare-chested, not afraid of the heat and even wearing sheepskin robes, the weapons in their hands are also various, there is no unified standard, knives, forks, swords, halberds, and even some people are holding agricultural rakes and wooden sticks, looking like a group of rabble that will be defeated in one blow.

However, a few months ago, the Tubo invaded Tuyuhun and swept across the Tuyuhun border, the Khan was forced by them to flee, and the Songzhou City of the Tang Dynasty was also captured by them.

There is no so-called city head scolding the war generals, there is no provocation and friction, since the Tubo captured Songzhou, the news of the slaughter of the people in the city reached the Tang military camp, it has represented that this war is imperative, from the Tang army besieged the city on three sides, the war has been irreconcilable, both sides know that this battle will not die, this is the battle to recover the land, but also the battle of revenge, as the saying goes: less nonsense, start fighting!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the northeast and south sides of Songzhou City sounded a low whimpering horn, in the suppressed and annoying horn sound, the Tang army walked out of three thousand crossbow archers on three sides, one hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall to line up the formation, the general's red flag waved down heavily, the black rain like dense crossbow arrows fell towards the head of Songzhou City, the Tubo soldiers squatted under the arrow stacks of the city wall, dodging round after round of crossbow arrow strikes, from time to time someone was hit by the arrow, let out a tragic howl, and then was dragged away, and someone quickly made up.

After more than 20 rounds of arrows, the crossbow archers put away their bows and crossbows and quickly withdrew to the main formation of the Chinese army.

Hundreds of stone-throwing trucks creaked out of the Chinese army, and the general gave an order, and the stone-throwing vehicles made a loud noise, and countless boulders smashed into the city of Songzhou like hail.
